Bony !

Greece could very well get to the semi-final suddenly ! Costa Rica, Then Holland or Mexico. Who all plays countering !

Wednesday 25th June Bosnia-Herzegovina v Iran 17:00 1-0 Nigeria v Argentina 17:00 0-2 Ecuador v France 21:00 1-2 Honduras v Switzerland 21:00 2-1 Thursday 26th June Portugal v Ghana 17:00 1-2 USA v Germany 17:00 1-2 Algeria v Russia 21:00 1-1 South Korea v Belgium 21:00 0-3

Hopefully he'll be stopped. I don't want him to be playing when they play Colombia as they're my team in the world cup with Belgium.

Only Holland , france and Belgium have qualified. Am I right ? Possibly Italy , Switzerland and Germany. Russia still have chance too and small chance for Greece. Id say Switzerland and Germany have the best chances.

I heard more information, There are few terms that is still being negotiated which hasn't been agreed yet (not the price which is agreed apparently). Other than that everything seems going good. It might also be a group of 3 or 4 partners. With Al-Baltan having most of it. A little bit less than 50%. If I heard something more I will say it here later.

Come on US get the draw in the second have ! Don't want Portugal to qualify.

Great, Algeria !

About it. It changes. 1 pound = 5 to 6 riyals. 1 dollar = 3.75 riyals. Nowhere near enough to buy the club strangely, would need to be at least double that I think Edit: Sorry, I get it now, so he has spent £75m out of his own pocket at Al Shabab? Impressive to be honest considering he wasn't the owner Yes. Sorry I havent write it clear. As I said before he was a president for the club not an owner. But mostly they are who pay the money for their clubs. Without having benefits from the money they get.

I didn't know anything before that. What I heard it, I had some calls to check. Until I've heard there is interest from people who I believe and know that they know, I said it here. Then got silent for couple of days till I've had more concrete and detailed info and I've put it here. I haven't knew anything before it been mentioned in the media.

hahaha why. No offence but why are we so sure Abdul is so different to every other ITK. I don't think it's something about me exactly or anyone else, As I haven't said anything before to be true or a lie. But from the experience, The foreign media an ITK know more than people from the club. As they do it in the club very silently. That's what I think.

Couple of local media are saying Al-Baltan won't buy the club and he's not interested in buying an English team. Yet he publicly said that he's interested in ! And they're quoting him with not wanting or thinking of buying. Yet here is a video which says : Q:Are you going to buy an English team ? A:I think of. a project which is coming. Q:In a near time? A:Yes, And I have many studies about it. Q:Have you paid in these years more than 700m riyals? A:No it's less, about 500m. From his own pocket. I've read it before, But I've just watched it now to make sure. It gave me more confidence about what I've been heard.

What do you want them to do exactly ? To open the pitch and do the same as Spain, Portugal and Switzerland ? It's playing the best way you could to win. If you're not good just try not to lose and might sneak a goal with a corner or something. If you hold the ball with shaky defending which don't know how to deal with counter-attacking you'll get hit badly. Villa last season only used to be good when counter-attacking. Because we didn't know how to defend a counter nor how to control a game. Actually I don't like playing with possession, I only like to play on teams who plays direct football. Building a team that play possession game need more than to play direct football, and nowadays phisycal game is as important. You could depend on 3 players in direct football. Unlike possession game.

I think it was better for Bosnia to go defensively. Anyway hard luck. Deserved win for Nigeria. Wish they could beat France or beat Argentina to throw them together ! They have a good team.

Ok then seems we'll support Nigeria against Argentina for topping the group ! But Emineke would do a better job for us than Weimann !

Eminic seems good and strong, How much would he cost? lol

I'd like Bosnia to score a draw. Don't look they will though. If Nigeria won I would like them to be top of the group to through Argentina with France. But hopefully Bosnia could score !

Smetrov. I understand what you're saying, It's not this way. Put it this way, Let's say the buyer himself said to you he's going to buy and he's on advanced stages. Would you say you know or you don't ? For me I'd say I know, But I still need to know the details to know whether Lerner is only considering him or still negotiating with others. I don't know how takeovers usually finishes, nor I know how long it takes....etc That's why I couldn't say something about it because I only hear it from the buyer side, that they're confident of buying.

If you want a true true true fan, There is only one other than me that I know. He actually signed up here before couple of days but he didn't know how to put posts. I know couple of people who just watch the games with us and just support them because they know we rarely get happy with a win. We are well known in those who watches european football. But mostly doesn't know how big the club is! I've been angry couple of times when some people couldn't know the difference between Villa and West Ham ! Some of them thinks I support West Ham ! haha. And why I've supported them ? It's a long story, I hated Villa as the most team I hate 2004, Yet I liked them in the same year ! haha. But I just used to check the results later as I stopped watching european leagues because I've been to the USA for a while. Long story which I might talk about later. lol.

Yes and that is exactly what he did. How are you so sure about that ? I don't think it's Lerner way. Try to remember last season with Benteke, I've even had a call from a Man Utd fan to tell me Benteke is going. When I read the announcement I knew that there was something strange in it. Because it says (We think he's going to stay with us). What I think about this club is that they don't announce money nor announce any deal unless it's finalized. Maybe he didn't have a certain buyer, But I think he had some offers and negotiations which might not met the same price yet still there in case if the others haven't met the same price. Yes.

Well, I've read what's written. If my understanding of the article is right, I don't think it has anything that would change my thinking even if I didn't have an info about Al-Baltan. And look what is said here in the article : Do you think Lerner would announce that the club is for sale without having a buyer? From our previous knowledge, Even with players costed nothing we've use to make it silently, so what do you think about a whole takeover? It's not the way of our board. We've been hearing since couple of years that Lerner wanting off. Yet he only announced it now. Do you think he was still interested ? Or he might have a buyer or a couple of them and he knows they're interested and they've agreed the price atleast? << I'm talking here without even mentioning what I've heard from the people who gave me the information or even what we're certain about with knowing that Al-Baltan is interested in buying an English team. Anyway this article haven't changed my understanding of the situation. Ofcourse I could be wrong. But what I'm hearing also is certainly different. It also says in the same article : I'm not even sure when did they agree their negotiations "if they did already". I don't think the club would say anything until everything is finished. So there is a good chance that they've agreed everything (as I've been told) and yet haven't finalized anything. Anyway I still don't have any further information. Im confused ? Do you have information or not ? why do you think it unrealistic that Lerner puts the club up for sale - but has no buyer...to me that seems the entirely logical conclusion. tell us what you know and how you know it I have an overview information. I've been told from a relative to Al-Baltan that they were negotiating with Villa. Then I've been told they're in the last stages and they've agreed the price...etc I just don't have the full details that would let me claim anything. Even if Al-Baltan himself told me I'm buying the Villa, I don't know how the process will go exactly. That's I'm trying to distinguish between what I've been told, and what I think (Even before I've heard anything). Anyway I'm still waiting for more information and details. And as I said here about how I knew that. It's from someone very close to Al-Baltan. Actually one his relatives.

Lets get Joel Cambell on loan for 6 months till Benteke is fit !
